The movie is about to start filming in January. It is not a reboot, the director said it would be an atrocity to do this to such a rich universal that is already established... thank you sssssoooo much.
It is a direct stand-alone sequel to Predator, not Predator 2 or Predators. Although it does take place after 2 (not sure about S).
Rumors say that if Arnold returns it will be to play a big role, but not an action role. Rather a main secondary character who provides the new "team" with needed information. Something along those lines.

The writer Dekker has done Tales from the Crypt episodes, Star Trek Enterprise the series, House 1, House 2, Monster Squad and a few other things.
The director Shane Black directed Iron Man 3, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and The Good Guys. He also wrote Lethal Weapon 1, 2 and 3. Last Action Hero,
The Long Kiss Goodnight, Iron Man 3, The Monster Squad and The Last Boy scout. Lastly, i keep hearing that he was unaccredited in the first Predator, but did writing for it. All i have to say is this guy not only respects the franchise and see's no need to reboot it, instead wants to build on it, and he seems to know good action movies.
Together these two seem like a qualified and competent duo to be heading this project.

Original Predator is one of my favorite films. If Schwarzenegger is in this I am definitely game. I can't stand Olivia Munn however.

They strategically gave her very few lines in X-Men Apocalypse :D

Is that real concept art or fan art?

Always liked Predator, very cool monster.

The top one is concept that we know for sure. the bottom one im not 100% sure on.
But I included the second one because of how often it showed up as a concept and it definitely looks like the same artist.

Munn I can take...but 50 cent....:leave:

50s not actually that bad of an actor and if they are doing a sequel involving another special teams, he should fit perfectly.

we shall see...I am glad to see Predator back at it again though!

Im tellin you, dont sleep no 50 as an actor. He really surprised me in All Things Fall Apart, he is also dedicated to his roles, he lost like 80 pounds for that role.
If he keeps at it he will become a much bigger name in Hollywood based on his acting and not rapping.

That and a couple of his other movies made me completely reverse my opinion of him as a actor.The guy is actually amazing as an actor in that movie.

I'm looking forward to this but not much information as far as the cast goes lots of rumored names mentioned but i guess that's normal for something that is still in early stages though.

I need to check that flick out...some of his other ones though...:negative:

never cared for him as a rapper. Not my style.

I like Predator and Predator 2 and I am hopeful this follows the trail of those two movies vice the latter. The other movies I do consider true Predator movies.

I know Danny and Arnold are old as fuck now, but it just seems like the easiest no brainer is to bring them back and go with a modified script of the original idea in Predator 2 I believe. Having them both in there. The traces of that concept still remain in the sense that they brought back the girl for the brief cameo interview when Keys was telling Mike the story in that trailer room.

Have Shane Black direct that and you have a connection to the films in that way. Sure, they probably want a fresh new cast to bring in the new demographics, but it just seems like a no brainer.
